All About St. Mary MacKillop

 All About St Mary MacKillop 

By Zean & Dwight

In 1842 Mary MacKillop was born in Melbourne Australia. Her parents were Flora and Alexander. Mary was the eldest amongst eight children. Flora and Alexander were born in Scotland. When Mary was eighteen she moved to a small town called Penola in South Australia. She then became a governess for her aunt and uncle’s children. From there she met Father Tenison Woods. Mary and Father Tenison Woods both had a dream to open a school and an orphanage for the poor children and orphans.

Mary joined the church. Later Bishop Sheil thought Mary was disobedient. So Bishop Sheil excommunicated Mary and expelled forty-seven sisters. Five months later Mary and the sisters lived happily because they moved to Adelaide. Bishop Sheil realized within the 5 months it was a mistake to excommunicate Mary MacKillop and the other forty-seven nuns. The excommunication was lifted. Mary was often ill. This sickness was caused by rheumatism and a stroke. In 1902, she was paralysed on her right-hand side. Mary died in a convent at Mount Street, North Sydney on August 8th 1909.

Mary’s legacy was to be the first saint in Australia. When Mary was still around, there was barely any food or money for anyone in Australia. People in her church and all the Australians had their happiness exponentially raised and received a better life.

Room 2's Favourite Videogames! (Statistical Investigation)

 

John and I have been working on an interpretation together to statistically record and display what Room 2’s Favourite Videogames are. So far we’ve gathered enough information to figure out which is the most popular game in our classroom. The amount of people who like Roblox is 14 people (46.7%). It’s the highest quantity of people who like a certain video game (Roblox). So by seeing the information we gathered as a team it is clear to us Roblox is the most favourite video game in Room 2. The least favourite game was Among Us. We think the reason why Among Us is the least favourite because it relates to school. This game requires you to do tasks. But on the good side, it's an entertaining game that requires problem-solving. The second most favourite video game in Room 2 is Fortnite and Minecraft (16.7%). These are two very popular games worldwide. Fortnite is a PvP (player versus player) Battle Royale game. An ordinary game has 100 players including you. Minecraft is a survival game to find netherite and diamonds. By trying to reach diamonds you need to dig deep down to find them. They’re usually near lava. Netherite is only found in the nether with a diamond pickaxe. Minecraft and Fortnite are both Multiplayer. Finally last of all the 3rd most favourite game in Room 2 is Tekken7. Tekken7 is a fighting game originally for fighting to K.O (knock out) the opposing player. It's less popular than Roblox, Fortnite and Minecraft because it's not multiplayer, unlike Roblox, Fortnite and Minecraft. It's also not including guns and weapons, it's all just bare-handed fighting.
